A Blast from the Past and a Leap into the Future: The Best Android Adventure Games

Adventure games used to be a fairly homogenous bunch: text adventures, then enhanced text adventures with graphics, and finally point-and-click adventures like Monkey Island and Broken Sword. But the smartphone era has exploded the genre, making it hard to define what an adventure game even is anymore. This list covers the gamut, from innovative narrative experiments to chilling political allegories.
